It was only a month ago that Mr Probz’ “Waves,” after a period of stagnation at pop radio, finally leaped into the Top 40.<\/p>\n
Now pop’s eleventh greatest weekly airplay gainer, Mr Probz’ breakthrough “Waves” is officially one of the format’s top 20 songs.<\/p>\n
According to Mediabase, the song ranks #20 on the strength of 4,102 spins during the September 21-27 tracking period. It garnered 28.21 million audience impressions within that seven day window.<\/p>\n
Since the top 20 ranking has been officially confirmed by Mediabase, nothing can strip “Waves” of the achievement. Two songs are, however, threatening “Waves”‘ position at pop radio.<\/p>\n
Up five places, Calvin Harris’ “Blame (featuring John Newman)” lands at #21 this week. Trailing “Waves” by only 53 spins and rising almost twice as quickly, the tune should imminently leap into the rolling Top 20.<\/p>\n
Also in the hunt–and new to the top 25 this week–is Nick Jonas’ “Jealous.” The song, which is the latest beneficiary of the iHeartRadio “On the Verge” boost, climbs to #23 on the strength of 3,880 spins. A rapid riser, its week-over-week spin gain of 1,738 trails only those of Taylor Swift’s #2 “Shake it Off” (+2,085) and Iggy Azalea’s #3 “Black Widow (featuring Rita Ora)” (+1,797).<\/p>\n
While both “Blame” and “Jealous” appear poised to leapfrog “Waves” in the coming days, it is worth noting that Sia’s freefalling #18 song “Chandelier” could fall out of the top 20 — and thus open up a new spot — by as early as Monday.<\/p>\n
Other milestones this week:<\/p>\n
— The aforementioned “Black Widow” rises 3 places to a new peak of #3.<\/p>\n
— Jeremih’s rhythmic crossover “Don’t Tell ‘Em (featuring YG)” enters the top 10 at #9.<\/p>\n
— Maroon 5’s “Animals” rockets thirty places to #28 this week.<\/p>\n
— Fall Out Boy’s “Centuries” jumps four places to #40.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047,206],"tags":[2873,1935,1174,1822,2878,2646,1487,2429,2702,2877,690,2703],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
